THE BEYAN RATIFICATION.
After ten days of very earnest
and laborious work on the part of
half a dozen free silver democrats
the Bryan ratification was held
Wednesday evening-. For several
days preceding- it had been an
nounced that the affair would be
the greatest and grandest political
demonstration ever given in North
Platte, and hundreds of our.citizens
who had apparently forgotten that
democratic promises mean noth-
ing, assembled on the streets to
witness the parade. Viewed from
any standpoint it cannot be said
that, the occasion was one of which
the promoters could burst with
pride in some respects it was a
dismal failure.
The parade formed on Front
street about half past eight o'clock,
and headed by the cornet band
marched a mile or more throusrh
the streets. In the parade were
about 200 torches and fifteen or
twenty transparencies, but
to the dim light within the latter
the inscriptions thereon could be
read by few. The torches were
Lduicu uiiuuuauv uy uuvs. counts
- -,i : : ii i i r i
0f the voters in line were taken by
several spectators at several points
on the line of march, and at no
time or place could more than
sixty-seven voters be discovered in
line. It is said that many of the
boys were promised a nickel each
if they would carry a torch, but we
will not vouch for the accuracv
of
this statement. In a wagon was
an immature double-lieaded calr,
which was supposed lo represent
the political illegitimacy of the free
silver party and that the organiza
tion has two heads. Cheers were
en ior Brvan by some of the
enthusiasts in line, but nary a
cheer for either Sewall or Watson
was heard. The only creditable
feature of the parade was the
pyrotechnic display.
About half past nine the proces
sion broke ranks at the court house
park, where a temporary stand for
the speakers and a few seats for
the audience had been erected.
Quite a large crowd, principally
ladies.and'boys, were present when
T. Fulton Gantt began his address
but the crowd grew less as he pro
ceeded, and by the time he finished,
J. G. Beeler, who followed him,
faced an audience of about 200.
The audieuce present was anything
but enthusiastic in fact it it had
been possible to corrall and con
dense the coldness shown by the
crowd it would have, supplied re
frigerator cars with ice for the re
mainder of the season.
When it is taken into considera
tion that this attempt at a ratifica
tion was a joint effort of the silver
democrats and populists, and that
several in the parade were country several additional courts are con
residents, the full measure of its templated by lovers oi this sport,

and was discharged Monday.
Mrs. W. T. Banks and sister. Miss
Cora Combs, of the Platte, visited

Mrs. Gutherie has consented to
donate an acre of ground just south
of the village for a school site, and
a new school building will be
erected thereon in the near future.
Wm. Price, a North Platte black
smith, was in town today on busi
ness. He informed the writer that
he had always been a democrat,
but that this election would find
his vote registered for McKinley
and sound currency.
We have talked with a number of
republicans from the south side
lately and they seem confident that
J. S. Robbins will be elected com
missioner from their district this
fall, no matter who the pops put up.
We hope their predictions will prove
Correct,
Dr. Sawyer; Dear Sir: Having used your Pas
tilles, I can recommend them to the public; I
have been attended by four different doctors, but
one and a half boxes of your medicine has done
me more good than all of them. Tours respect

SALE OF THE COE-CABTEE PEOPEETY.
From Yesterday's Omaha Bee.
That all the eyes from the east
which are.turned toward Nebraska
are not political is evidenced by a
transaction in realty located in the
western part of tlie state. One of
the largest bodies of land in the
state in the possession of one per
son or company has been that
owned by Coe, Carter & Co,, of
North Platte. A portion of their
holdings has been placed under ir
rigation ditches, but there is a
still larger body that has not. For
some time negotiations have been
in progress for the sale of this land
to Turpie Brothers of Toledo, O.
Through the manager of Coe, Car
ter & Co., John Bratt, the sale has
at last been consummated, the con
sideration being in the neignbor-
hood.of $250,000.
The land in question lies partly
in the bottoms of the Platte and
partly on the Birdwood, about
twenty-five miles from North
Platte. It is in the east part of
Keith and the west part of Lincoln
county. A major portion of it lies
in the bottom and can be irrigated
without any serious difficulty. The
soil is rich and with the water pro
vided will produce crops that can
not be excelled for quantity or qual
ity anywhere.
It is understood the purchasers
propose, as soon as possible, to put
the entire tract under ditch. This
will mean an outlay of a large sum
or money, out tne purciiasers are
said to have unbounded faith in the
financial success of the venture. On
the portion of the "tract which is
now under ditch the crops are said
to be so much superior to those on
non-irrigated land.even in this year
of promise, as to demonstrate the
profit of irrigation-even in the most
favorable seasons.

Mr. Bryan's friends assert
that the speech he is now prepar
ing for delivery on accepting liis
nomination will be the greatest ef
fort of his life. Let us hope it will
be a new effort, at any rate, for evi
dence is accumulating that the one
which gained him the nomination
had done duty at least once, and
probably two or three times, before j
and that its most striking passage,
the "crown of thorns" figure, was
taken from a speech delivered in
congress in January, 1894, by Rep
resentative McCall of Massahuetts.

Ledger,
The trickery of the Bryan mana
gers in pretending that they had a
telegram from that facile boy pro
digy refusing to accept a nomina
tion from the pops unless Sewall
was also nominated, when if he sent
such a dispatch he did not intend
to carry out the threat, appears to
call forth no resentment on the part
of either popocrat or populist. It
is a specimen of their accepted rnodQ
of political manageneqt. They
count with, confidence on an eudorse
inent of such methods by the crowd
that mingles knavery and foolish
ness in equal parts for the consump
tion of their willing dupes. Jour
nal. Maccaline will cure any case of itching
piles. It has never failed. It affords
nstaht relief, and a cure in due time.
